In addition to customizing your hero like in any other RPG, Dragon Age Legends also gives each player a castle from which they can produce items to aid them in questing. Upgrades to the castle require gold which is received from questing or when friends use your hero in battle. Below is a list of the rooms with their upgrade costs.
Expansions[]
Expansions are empty rooms that you add to increase the size of your castle and are required for placing other rooms. Your starting castle has 3 expansions on the ground floor, 3 expansions on the 2nd floor, 1 expansion on the 3rd floor, and 3 expansions on the B1 floor. Although the building screen lists expansions as 200g, the price actually varies depending on which floor the expansion is placed on. The maximum castle size is 9 expansions wide, 7 stories above ground and 7 stories below ground (14 expansions tall). With 25 April patch, you can increase the width of your castle by 1 (repeatable 8 times) by Crown upgrading your Throne Room.
- 6400g 6th floor
- 3200g 5th floor
- 1600g 4th floor
- 800g 3rd floor
- 400g 2nd floor
- 200g Ground floor
- 200g B1 floor
- 300g B2 floor
- 400g B3 floor
- 500g B4 floor
- 600g B5 floor (assumed: +100g/basement level)
Worker room[]
Worker room provide more workers so that players can produce more items at a time. They take up 1 expansion space. Worker rooms are non-upgradeable but the cost of each additional worker room increases. Placement of worker rooms affects their happiness which affects their productivity (time taken to produce items). Worker Rooms gain +1 happiness for wall (left or right) that is not adjacent to an Expansion room or below ground (max +2). Worker Rooms gain +1 happiness for each Tavern Level that is adjacent. It appears that the max happiness of a worker room is +10 (as April 16, 2011 using the Festival Potion (2x Happiness for 24 h) resulted in the game displaying the graphics for 10 Happiness but not the expected 16 Happiness. The game displays only the graphics for 10 Productivity but the Alchemy Lab, Apothecary, and Infirmary function with above 10 Productivity even though the graphics do not display such.)
